My Jaymes has grown up

Oh gosh, when I uploaded the photos to my computer this morning, I was mildly shocked to see how my son has grown. 15 years old! It was just like only yesterday when I was feeding him his porridge and changing his diapers.

It seems the years passed so fast after I turned 30. Where did all those years go to? Very soon, he would be going for his National Service, and then further studies, and then get married. Gosh! I would be a mother-in-law and then a grandmother. Jeezzz.........

How do you stop time from moving forward? My hair is turning white and my precious assets are beginning to sag. I could dye my hair and go for plastic surgery, but underneath all this artificial masking is still the over-40 woman.

Many years ago, a middle-aged female colleague was lamenting to me about her age-spots and wrinkles and I was rolling my eyes all the time. I was young then, so what she said didn't register with me. Now that I'm reaching the dreaded years, I'm beginning to worry.

Heck, I'm still a woman who gets admiring glances when I'm in public places, and if you say you don't care, probably nobody's looking at you. muahahahaha...........

Woa... a perfect family. Going by what I've read of Jaymes so far, he seems to be a sensible young man. You and Chris (Tan not Sim) did a great job.

Woh.. slow down will ya? Why think so far ahead? Take time to savour the moment and smell the roses, Lady. One day, the kids will leave the nest.... come what may. That's why we must have our hobbies and our own circle of friends, right? *wink wink*
